Safe Space: Prepare a separate space for the new pet with a bed, food, and water. This helps with initial adaptation.
First Meeting: Keep initial meetings short and supervised. Use a gate or door to let them smell each other without direct contact.
Scent Exchange: Swap blankets or toys between pets to help them get used to each other’s scent.
Positive Reinforcement: Reward both pets with treats and affection for calm and friendly behaviors.
Constant Monitoring: Watch for signs of stress or aggression. If needed, consult an animal behavior specialist.
Introducing a new pet requires patience and love, but with these tips, you can create a harmonious environment for everyone! 🏡❤️
